Music Video

During a music video field trip, students produce videos featuring their own original poetry and music. Before and during the field trip, students engage in each step of the process, working in groups to decide on a concept, create original spoken word poetry, digitally compose their own music, coordinate dance routines, and perform and film the final product.

In this video, middle school students from Contra Costa Country wrote music and lyrics about the budget cuts affecting their school.



This video was made by a group of 6th graders from St. Paul's School in San Francisco. Watch as they rap about the order of operations, or PEMDAS. (You know, parentheses, exponants, muliplication and division, followed by addition and subtraction!!)
